For n ≥ 1, let Cn denote a cyclic group of order n. Let G = Cn ⊕Cmn with n ≥ 2 and m ≥ 1, and let k ∈ [0, n− 1]. It is known that any sequence of mn+ n− 1 + k terms from G must contain a nontrivial zero-sum of length at most mn+ n− 1− k. The associated inverse question is to characterize those sequences with maximal length mn + n − 2 + k that fail to contain a nontrivial zero-sum subsequence of length at most mn + n − 1 − k. For k ≤ 1, this is the inverse question for the Davenport Constant… Expand

Let n be an integer, and consider finite sequences of elements of the group Z/nZ x Z/nZ. Such a sequence is called zero-sum free, if no subsequence has sum zero. It is known that the maximal lengthExpand
The Davenport constant for a finite abelian group G is the minimal length l such that any sequence of l terms from G must contain a nontrivial zero-sum sequence. For the group G = (Z/nZ), its valueExpand

On a Conjecture of Hamidoune for Subsequence Sums
Let G be an abelian group of order m, let S be a sequence of terms from G with k distinct terms, let m ∧ S denote the set of all elements that are a sum of some m-term subsequence of S, and let |S|Expand
A Combinatorial Problem on Finite Abelian Groups
Abstract In this paper the following theorem is proved. Let G be a finite Abelian group of order n . Then, n + D ( G )−1 is the least integer m with the property that for any sequence of m elements aExpand

It is well known that the maximal possible length of a minimal zero-sum sequence S in the group Z/nZ⊕Z/nZ equals 2n−1, and we investigate the structure of such sequences. We say that some integer n ≥Expand
Inverse zero-sum problems II
Let $G$ be an additive finite abelian group. A sequence over $G$ is called a minimal zero-sum sequence if the sum of its terms is zero and no proper subsequence has this property. Davenport'sExpand
Restricted inverse zero-sum problems in groups of rank 2
Let $(G,+)$ be a finite abelian group. Then, $\so(G)$ and $\eta(G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell$ such that each sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has a subsequence whose terms sum toExpand
